[…] Apologies for the lack of updates, we had a long week with much illness and too much work. However, I got an email from Stampington to let me know that my Art Journaling Magazine article is a free download now. So if you’d like to read it, you can do so from here: open me now […]

I am new to art journaling and very excited and a little scared. I am an empty vessel ready to be filled with everyone’s ideas, experiences, instructions, inspirations and creativity! I love Somerset Place and the Stampington & Co and the book store where I happened to pick up one of your fabulous magazines!

Welcome to the art journaling community! We are mustering a fun blog post, scheduled to be published soon, that gives insight for newbies…so be on the lookout for that! Glad you’re getting inspiration from us thus far.

I just love Christy Thomlinson. I want to start painting/drawing girls. It is a goal that I am determined to accomplish. Christy’s She-Art Girls are absolutely beautiful; full of color and whimsy. She gives each one their own personality. I would love to visit her and take her All Inclusive Class one day, at her new Home Studio. She is so inspiring and amazing to me.

I love Karen’s work. Thanks for sharing this article. Unfortunately when I download it I cannot see the article. The images are amazing, but I cannot read the text. Could you look into it for me, please? Thanks

Hi there! Does the text appear pixelated or is it just too small to read? Have you tried zooming in or printing? I will look into uploading a higher resolution so the text is just as crisp as the images!

I love the stamping ton publications, can you tell me are there any places that sell them in Australia? My stamping shop will get them in for me,but I can do that myself, the magazine is reasonably priced, but the cost of shipping almost doubles the price,hope you can help,Thankyou.

I am not a journaler but in Sept. I was in very bad car accident and could have died. I was life fligjted to a trauma hospital where obvious they saved me. Now it is a year at least of recouping so maybe I will try this to help pass the time and using all the wonderful supplies I have (which are many).
To 2014 a better year and a year of healing.
